When the weather begins to turn cold, I pull out my Slow Cooker Beef Burgundy recipe to warm me up.

Actually, I turn to a few of my favorite comfort meals, such as meatloaf and mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie and lasagna.

But there is nothing better than a good bowl of Beef Burgundy that you made in the slow cooker to make you happy!

What is Beef Burgundy?

This comfort meal originated from France. It is basically a thick stew that starts with cubes of beef that have been sauteed in bacon grease.

Then add in carrots and onions and flavor the dish with burgundy wine, thyme and bay leaves.

cubed chuck roast — Use a chuck roast and cut the meat into cubes before browning in a skillet.

And finally, when the dish is almost completely cooked, add in mushrooms and cook just until tender.

Traditionally it is served as a stew. However, in recent years, it has been served like our Beef Tips recipe, over egg noodles.

And if you have any leftovers, it is also great served in a bowl with rice.

Slow Cooker Beef Burgundy

Making Beef Burgundy in the slow cooker is a fantastic way to make sure that your meat is melt-in-your-mouth tender.

browning beef cubes — Use a skillet or a multi-cooker to saute your beef until brown on all sides.

For this recipe, it is best to use a chuck roast. It is an inexpensive cut of meat that is stands up well and breaks down perfectly to the slow cooking process.

Start off by cutting your meat in 1 1/2 inch cubes. Then using a skillet or your multi-cooker (such as an Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi on saute mode), brown the outside of your beef cubes.

Then place the meat in the slow cooker and add the broth, vegetables, and seasonings.

slow cooker beef burgundy ingredients — Once the beef is browned, add all the ingredients into the slow cooker except the wine and mushrooms.

Cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High or 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Then add in your wine and mushrooms. You do NOT want to add your mushrooms at the beginning of the cooking process. They will virtually disintegrate into the sauce if you add them with the other vegetables.

Finally, thicken the sauce with a flour/water slurry mixture.

Cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, and dinner is ready!

We usually serve Beef Burgundy straight from the slow cooker. However, you could also place it in a large serving dish as well.

Eat it is as a stew, or serve it over noodles or rice.

Enjoy!
